why should the Twin Towers be any different? respect what was lost, let it be remembered. this goes for movies that wish to have it in a scene, as well as past shows that have them.
I agree completely.

Furthermore, the idea of the Twin Towers being destroyed is obviously a tasteless subject after the fact, but the idea of destroying famous landmarks, both in fiction and real life, is as old as civilization itself. The TMNT cartoon never struck me as taking the idea of violence or mass destruction too lightly, so I see no reason to edit or suppress any previous episodes.
